Dear TVTS families,
In response to Governor Newsom’s executive order N-33-20 ordering all Californians to stay in their homes, Temecula Valley Therapy Services has made the decision to cancel all in-home therapy sessions for the next two weeks in order to protect our clients and their families, as well as our employees. We will continue to provide Telehealth sessions to all clients who are requesting these services. We will also continue to monitor the Covid-19 crisis, assess the risk to our clients and employees and respond as quickly and responsibility as possible. As soon as we can return to our normal operations, we will contact you via email and phone calls so that you can continue receive services.

All of us at TVTS value you as our clients and consider you and your children as part of our families. Please take care of yourselves and stay safe during these unsettling times. We will be here for you as soon as it safe to do so. Our prayers go out to all of you, and to all healthcare professionals and their families who are fighting this epidemic.

May God bless you and your families,
Lynne
